I am in this race to bring some sanity back to politics.  Historically poor management practices of the cities leaders have lead to many confused policies of the present.  Any citizen paying assessment fees know exactly what I am talking about.

I want to be the voice of the people for the great city of Fayetteville.  I have spoken the homeless.  I have visited the people with special needs. I have seen the unemployed families with no where to go.  I hear your voices for change,

Fayetteville has problems with the transportation, sewage, annexation, and illegal drugs.  Most of all you need a mayor for all of the people, which money can not buy.  I hear your voices too.

Who is better to "Lead the Way" for the expansion of Fort Bragg and BRAC, than a retired combat special operations soldier. I know what it feels like to be away from home, on foreign soil and defending this country.  I know what hardships families go through in times of war.  I understand how the military operates and I believe that I can forge an even better working relationship with our military.

With all my credentials, in some circles, I would be considered an expert in finance and management.  Over the years by working on the Finance Corporation in Cumberland County, I have help save the taxpayers over millions of dollars through refinance of the debt .  I have all the experience, skills and technical expertise to make Fayetteville a better community.

In November, I ask that you cast your vote for Bob White, the Next Mayor of Fayetteville.  I say that if other cities and states can flourish in these hard times, I say "WE CAN TOO!"   Thank you and may God be with you always.
